AL day yesterday IN old man sat stolid
| with his hands and feet nanaclcd and with two
| constables watching him In n littlo upper room
| In George Gleste's hotel ut Broslau, Long
| Island. His namc Is George GaebelcIn, and he
| had brutally murdered on the night before
Mrs. Caroline schaufiert, his neighbor. He
had also done his best to kill Mrs. Schaufrert's
! husband. Carl. Tho Gaebelelns and the
| Schauffcrts live about three quarters Of q
mile east Of Brcslnu, or about 100 rods
south Of the Long Island Railroad track In
| what Is known in Breslau Ms Street OF tho
Wildwood property. A quarter Of q mile to the
west Of Schautfert's house Is that Of his son-in-
| law. John Hoffman: between those houses,
and little to the north. is Gaebeloin's house.
Gaebelein works by tho day at anything he
| can turn his hand to. He Is IS years old. mar
ried, and has three children. He has lived In
Breslau six years, and has been known rs O
man Of peaceable character but a hard drinker.
Schauffert came to Dreslau year and
half ogo from New York. where he had
worked for years upon the Third avenue and
| Fourth avenue street car lines. He Is 10 years
old. and his wife was rs. He bought q lot in
| Broslau with part OF his little savings, and
determined to spend his days there near his
son-in-law. Tho frequent goings and comings
between the two houses wore little path In
the lots. Neither Gaebelein, nor Hoffman. nor
Schaufrert owned the land upon which tho
path ran, this being the property Of Thomas
Wildwood, but Gaebelein obtained permission to
| farm some Of tho land crossed by tho path on
condition OF paying the taxes upon It. Last
spring he ploughed up the path and planted
the land, but Schauffert claimed the right to
| cross the land STILL and o quarrel started be-
tween all the families interested. It was tenn
porarily settled by Esquire Lewis Of Babylon
telling Schauffert that he must not cross the
land and must leave Gaebelein alone. Never
quarrel. and screamed expletives at each other
and Hoiimgns crossed the land whenever thoy

Some OF the people in Breslau were inclined
to think that Mrs. Gaebelein was accessory to
her HUSBANDS crime. Mrs. Hoffman declared
that while Gaebelein was digging the holo Mrs.
